How we handle TR19 inspection in Beggar's Bush
A fixed schedule does not always match how a kitchen really cooks. Some kitchens build up grease faster than the minimum intervals assume, and only measurement shows it. We give your risk assessment measured figures rather than guesses. The work covers wet film thickness tests, insurer audits and post-clean checks, and people most often call us about uncertainty over how often to clean and confirming a clean reached the whole system.
In a small place like Beggar's Bush, kitchens are often in older or extended buildings, with long single-storey duct runs, where grease settles in the flat sections. We agree access and timings in advance.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Part by part
Schools, hospitals and care homes
Hospital and care home kitchens can cook all day, every day. Testing shows if the cleaning interval keeps pace.
Extract fan and discharge
A greasy fan works harder and wears faster. Readings show if it needs attention before the next clean.

Common questions in Beggar's Bush
Can you clean school kitchen extracts in Beggar's Bush during the holidays?
Yes, out-of-term visits are normal for schools. There are about 11 schools, colleges and universities on the FSA’s food hygiene register within about 1.5 miles of Beggar's Bush. You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the dates the site is empty.
Is Beggar's Bush within the area you cover?
Yes, Beggar's Bush is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
When should we have our next grease test?
It depends on how heavily the kitchen cooks. BESA’s minimum cleaning intervals are every 3, 6 or 12 months for heavy, moderate and light use, and testing shows if your kitchen needs more.
What is grease thickness testing?
It’s a measurement of how much grease is coating the inside of the extract, using the Wet Film Thickness Test (WFTT) or Deposit Thickness Test (DTT). Each reading is recorded in microns.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Why deal with it now?
After an incident, an insurer can ask to see proof of TR19 cleaning and inspection. Missing records can put a claim at risk. Getting an inspection done now starts that paper trail. It’s simpler to plan the work at Beggar's Bush now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

Kitchen extracts in Beggar's Bush
Food Standards Agency records list about 29 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways across Beggar's Bush and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, measuring grease is better than guessing when to clean. Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service covers Beggar's Bush. Fire and rescue authorities enforce the Fire Safety Order in most non-domestic premises, and in a kitchen that fire risk includes the grease in the extract. Environmental health officers from Windsor and Maidenhead council inspect food businesses in Beggar's Bush. Extraction counts as kitchen equipment, so its condition can come up on the day. Keeping each certificate and photo report on file helps show the extract is looked after.
Where a hall near Church of St Michael and All Angels, or anywhere in Beggar's Bush, hosts lunch clubs or events, its extract gathers grease just as a café’s does. Term dates shape school work: for a school like Holy Trinity CofE Primary School, an extract clean fits neatly into a half-term or summer break.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep TR19 certificates, readings and reports together
- Mention new equipment or longer hours at the next test
- Share inspection reports with your insurer or broker when asked
- Keep canopy edges and gutters wiped down
The report recommends when the system should next be cleaned and tested, from the measured grease and the kitchen’s hours.
Keep filters clean and in place. Gaps around filters let grease get past them.
Common problems we fix in Beggar's Bush
Menus, opening hours and cooking styles change over time, and more frying or longer hours mean more grease. A cleaning interval set years ago may no longer fit.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Sections of duct that can’t be reached
- Surveys needed before quoting a full clean
- Kitchen extract systems with no recent grease readings
- Confirming a clean reached the whole system
Historic houses near Beggar's Bush, such as St Leonard's Hill about 4.3 miles north, are a reminder that older buildings with event kitchens can have long, awkward duct routes.
